☺️ And if you read 25 in a season you get a pass to Six Flags.

aprilnicolehill.bsky.social•231 days ago

There is a way you can sign up for that just fyi 👀

joshuamsimons.com•231 days ago

More details please!

aprilnicolehill.bsky.social•231 days ago

Homeschool book-it program 🤣

Reading keeps your mind sharp. And cheap pizza!

laraque.bsky.social•230 days ago

Reading yes, pizza no.

pharaohdom.bsky.social•231 days ago

Oh, I'm 100% with you there. Wanted to know where we can sign up for such a program in our big ages.

oceansoul316.bsky.social•231 days ago

Those were indeed simpler times

ahoyimharker.bsky.social•231 days ago

THIS!

friendoftheghost.bsky.social•230 days ago

unironically, some libraries have summer reading programs that do give out gift cards and coupons!

silenceredux.bsky.social•231 days ago

I raised my kids on Book It!

pastalover2003.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ended up working at Pizza Hut, coincidence??? I THINK NOT.

jeanward1.bsky.social•230 days ago

My kids used to get those. All grown up and avid book readers 🥰

hivanillasky.bsky.social•231 days ago

Little gold stars

sarahmichellek.bsky.social•231 days ago

Ha ha! The best of times… I also know we’re probably similar in age 😂 it was so rewarding though. That personal pan pizza was the bomb.

joshuamsimons.com•230 days ago

Their pan pizza remains my favorite to this day

atheenabean.bsky.social•231 days ago

We would be rich with pizza.

joshuamsimons.com•231 days ago

We sure would be!

rinthpress.bsky.social•231 days ago

John Simons here. Pizza + books… I will have to think deeply on how to make this happen

joshuamsimons.com•231 days ago

Well that's a pretty fun coincidence in terms of last name - my dad's name is John!

rinthpress.bsky.social•231 days ago

If you’re originally from Michigan there might be an actual connection

joshuamsimons.com•231 days ago

Nope, I grew up in Florida 🙂

oneloveinspires.bsky.social•230 days ago

I miss Pizza Hut…the closest one is 45 minutes away…:( the one in town is now a Mexican restaurant…I guess I’ll take margaritas instead of pizza for reading now

joshuamsimons.com•230 days ago

That's a much more adult prize, lol

ttrimble1962.bsky.social•230 days ago

My kids loved Book It.

wannabeauthor.bsky.social•231 days ago

Book it was awesome!

brittanielewis.bsky.social•230 days ago

I'm literally holding a reading pizza party for me and my friend at the end of the year because I agree.

majorhavoc.bsky.social•231 days ago

Wow. Ok. I just love reading. A great escape and fuel for you imagination. You make your own visuals.

smazzer.bsky.social•230 days ago

Remember the California Raisin prizes for reading? Late 80s/Early 90s? I can't find anything on it!

joshuamsimons.com•230 days ago

That's not one I ever participated in, but it doesn't surprise me that something like that existed

jcmacomber.bsky.social•229 days ago

My kid gets pizza hut coupons for reading at school. Just picked one up last week.

shelleykoski.bsky.social•230 days ago

My BFF & I were just talking about this on Tuesday (before we were sad). Couldn’t remember if this was real or not so thank you for validating my 58 year old memory!

sarasmirks.bsky.social•231 days ago

Made me laugh out loud—thanks for the memories!

dogmomof12.bsky.social•231 days ago

Those were the good old days...

claudecowan1.bsky.social•230 days ago

In my case, cookies would be a real winner. Hahahahahahahaha

joshuamsimons.com•230 days ago

I'll tell the Keebler Elf

claudecowan1.bsky.social•230 days ago

🤣

thewritesky.bsky.social•230 days ago

Oh, I used to love Book It! I love to read anyways but I thought getting a free little personal pizza was nice.

revengenotebook.bsky.social•231 days ago

That is 100% the peak of humanity, it’s been all downhill since then

metavari.bsky.social•231 days ago

I have always credited my love of reading to Book It! Though I do remember being very confused by Dr. Dolittle (50 pointer) being nothing like the film at the time.

nathanplante.bsky.social•228 days ago

Pizza Hut coupons for reading is a national service to the country and should be lauded as such.

victorbiancardine.bsky.social•230 days ago

I am in full support of committing pizza fraud with the book it program if it makes you wanna read more.

Pic unrelated.

ataleortwo.bsky.social•230 days ago

“I’m here for my personal pan pizza, please.”

lilmsriot.bsky.social•231 days ago

Most libraries have adult reading programs in the summer and winter. Might not be Pizza Hut coupons but you’ll get ✨something✨

joshuamsimons.com•231 days ago

I'll have to see if my local library does anything like that

actionjaxon.bsky.social•230 days ago

What a time to be alive that was…

locuteusofcorg.bsky.social•231 days ago

The best I can do is leftover Halloween Reese's.

imasithduh.bsky.social•231 days ago

Ngl, that was the reason Friday was pizza night in my family for years. My parents could never keep up with the amount I got for reading.

umbreonmessiah.bsky.social•231 days ago

Imagining a society with proper social incentives seems like an impossible dream at this point.

choobakaa.bsky.social•231 days ago

Same ^^

wordfangirl.bsky.social•231 days ago

Local library though. I've 100% given away a PS5 to a teen for a summer reading prize.

ejonesesq.bsky.social•231 days ago

What a time

yourwildefleur.bsky.social•231 days ago

And that deserves a follow! That was my SHIT growing up!

fanstachetic.bsky.social•231 days ago

So PH still does these, but so many schools don't offer it because of the massive paperwork that front offices don't absorb in this system and pass on to teachers on top of everything else...

It's a great program and a form should be developed for adults as well.

1by2ofanidiot.bsky.social•230 days ago

I feel like we would do a lot more things if we got Pizza Hut coupons for them.

joshuamsimons.com•230 days ago

Agreed

chisoxbookworm.bsky.social•230 days ago

The way I read, I'd put my local Pizza Hut out of business

madkyngehemry.bsky.social•230 days ago

Good lord, I would be 300 lbs if that was the case ... 😳

But no excuses - books on audio means I can enjoy exercise. 😏

Cheers 🍕
